The term “natural flavors” can vary depending on the product. We use a variety of natural flavors, all of which are derived from natural sources.
The collective terms “spices” or “spices and herbs” means any aromatic vegetable substance in the whole, broken, or ground form such as allspice, basil, bay leaves, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, sage, etc.

For proprietary reasons, we cannot provide details on the ingredients used in “natural flavors” or “spices” or “spices and herbs”. However, if there is a specific ingredient of concern, we can advise on its presence or absence within our product.

We are glad to help you find your favorite product! While many items can be ordered directly from us, we can help find a retailer in your area that carries what you are looking for. Find the product on our website and click the “Find A Retailer” box to access online retailers as well as stores near you that carry the product.

We do suggest contacting the store prior to making a special trip to ensure it is still in stock. If your local store doesn’t show up on our locator, we advise you to speak with your store manager about availability as they may be able to order it for you.

If you are still unable to locate the product you are looking for, check our Discontinued Product List to ensure it is still being manufactured, or Contact Us directly for assistance.

Many of our products can be ordered directly from us! You can either find the product on our website and click the “Add to Cart” button from that page OR click on the shopping cart on the top right corner of our website and search the available items. If a product is not available directly, we can help find a retailer in your area that carries what you are looking for by clicking the “Find A Retailer” link from any product page.

The shelf life listed below is approximate and only applicable if stored properly. It is best to follow the "Best By" dates on the products.

If your product does not have a "Best By" date it is beyond our recommended shelf life.

General Shelf Life
Old Bay Seasoning - 18 months.

Proper Storage Tips
•Store Old Bay Seasoning in a tightly capped container.
•Keep away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
•Avoid storing over the stove, dishwasher, sink or near a window.
•We do not recommend freezing, as freezing does not extend the shelf life of dried herbs and spices. Repeatedly removing the bottles from the freezer may cause condensation to form and accelerate the loss of flavor and aroma.

To enjoy the best flavor, we recommend that Old Bay® Hot Sauce be consumed within six months of opening, and within its shelf life.

Old Bay® Hot Sauce sauce can be consumed past 6 months of opening as long as still within its Best By date. However, the product is more exposed to oxygen which accelerates the degradation of color and flavor. There is no health risk, but the flavor will not be the same.

We don’t recommend consuming Old Bay® Hot Sauce past its Best By date.
